Chapter 2: rose
The next day Esme took me shopping to buy some new clothes and shoes.
"I must say Rosalie your blood control is outstanding!"
"It's sort of just like smelling lots of chocolate cake I guess. It tempts you but as soon as you eat it you just feel guilty."
"ha. I haven't had chocolate cake in 105 years!"
"105? Don't mind me saying but you are old!"
"Old yet still looking young! Rosalie, Emmett won't hurt you in anyway, you understand that right?"
"I know. I totally get it. It's strange moving on."
"I just want you to know I am here for you. No matter what."
"How did you become a vampire?"
"No one has asked me that in years! Well, my story isn't like everyone else's. My mother died at birth whilst having me and my father didn't want the responsibility of me so I was put into an orphanage. A family called the denali's adopted me. Little did I know they were vampires. After several years they to turned me into a vampire, they introduced me to Carlisle, I married him.
And we started our own cove of vampires called the Cullens. That's the basic story."
"But how do you have kids?"
"There not really mine Rosalie. We have adopted the vampires over the years. They all have different stories that I am sure they will share with you soon."
After driving home, I went to my room and started to hang all my new clothes in my wardrobe. It took many hours but I had all the time in the world. There was no rush anymore.
After I sat down on my sofa and watched a film. I ended up watching 21-jump street. It made me laugh so who cares.
"Knock knock." Emmett said at my door.
"hay Emmett!" I said moving my eyes from the TV screen.
"You have settled in well. Like your room?"
"Yeah getting use to new life I guess. And yeah the room is awesome."
"you know your room is bigger than mine! We might have to swap!"
"hahaha really?"
"Yeah like way bigger. I think I'll move in with ya."
He came into my room and sat with me on the sofa.
"21 jump street! I love this film. So so so funny. Mind if I watch the ending with you."
"no go ahead. I wouldn't mind the company to be honest. Make yourself comfy."
"Will do." he lay on his side and put his head in my lap. With one hand he rested it on my thigh.
"What are you doing?"
"Getting comfy."
We watched the rest of the film laughing our heads off until it eventually finished.
"How did you become a vampire?" I asked.
"I was hiking in the woods when this giant bear came and saw me as his next meal. Carlisle found me and saved me."
"How long ago was that?"
"Oh erm. About 35 years ago I think, I can't quite remember, maths isn't my thing."
I laughed. "Do you like being a vampire?"
"There is good and bad. As a vampire you gain a power. That's pretty cool. You get to be really fast. Live forever! Be the world's most dangerous predator. But, I can't have kids, it's unlikely I can get a job, at school people just see you as an outcast you know. I am hungry like all the time!"
"What's your power?"
"Strength."
"That doesn't surprise me, your nothing but muscle! What are everyone else's powers?"
"Well, Edward can read minds, Alice can see the future, jasper controls emotions, Esme is loving, Carlisle is a very smart doctor."
"What's mine"?
"I don't know yet. You will soon discover it. But I think I have an idea of what it could be."
"Tell me."
"No can do."
"Oh come on! Please, pretty please."
"Tempting but no. Make a deal, give me a blowjob. I will tell you anything and everything."
"Interesting deal. But I will pass for now, I only blow after the first date. Sorry" I got up from the sofa and stretched.
"You want to go hunting with me? Feeling a little hungry you know." I asked him.
"When have I ever turned down food!" he got up from the sofa. I ran into the wardrobe and got some shoes. We both left the house and went hunting.
I finally realised that Emmett had a real obsession with bears. It was his most favourite meal in the world. That's all he would try and hunt. I filled up on eating deer.
"So would you consider this a first date?" Emmett came up behind me and wrapped his huge arms around my waist.
I enjoyed the feeling of our closeness together. He made me feel special.
"Ha, no I would not."
"Well may I say you look incredibly beautiful today miss hale."
"Are you trying to seduce me?"
"It depends... Is it working?"
I just laughed at him. Not answering the question.
"May I have this dance my dear."?
"Oh you may." I slid my hands around the back of his neck.
His hand wrapped themselves around waists.
"Now it's like a first date" I giggled.
"Not yet..." he leant his head down slightly so both our foreheads were touching.
Puckering out his lips slightly he leaned just that bit more, closing the gap between our lips.
It felt so right! His lips matched with mine. His lips were smooth and soft, not what I expected.
I pulled him in closer, showing him I was okay with it. The kiss deepened more and more, before I knew it both of our tongues were involved in the action.
"Emmett" I moaned. What was he doing to me? What were we doing!
I pulled back and looked down. I felt so embarrassed.
"I rushed it to much, didn't I. I am so sorry Rosalie. I don't know what happened. God why am I such an ass sometimes?" Emmett started blabbering to himself.
"Your not an ass. It wasn't rushed, it was perfect."
"Why did you pull back? You don't feel the same way for me do you?" I looked up at him only to look down at the ground.
"no no no, Emmett, I really really like you. It's just you deserve so much better than me Emmett you really do. You couldn't even handle half of me!" I joked.
He looked up and smiled.
"I just want to learn more about you. Enjoy life for a little while. There's no rush between us, right? We have got forever!" I said.
"We better get back, everyone's probably wondering where we are." he said.
We ran home together. We joined the rest of the family in the living room. Emmett sat on the big leather chair patting his lap for me to come and sit on.
Stupidly I did, walking over to him and sitting on his lap leaning back onto his chest.
He moved his head so it was resting on my shoulder.
I turned my head to the side to whisper something in his ear.
"You never mentioned about Alice and jasper."
"What their marriage?"
"They're married?"
"Yeah they are. Married for 12 years or something."
"Your not secretly having some sort of affair on your wife with me are you?"
"Yes if I had a wife, but I don't so no. I ain't married. Not yet at least."
"Got a girlfriend?"
"ha no. My love life is pretty low."
"What about a Denali girl? They're a hot set of blonde vampires. Interested in one?"
"er... Is this test?"
"What no? I just want to know. I don't mind if you do fancy one of them, you can tell me."
"To be honest I have never really seen them as more than mates. Yeah they're hot, but I am not like major attracted to them. None of them seem like the sort of person I would see myself with in 100 years time. How do you know there hot? You haven't even met them."
"Esme showed me some pictures and told me some stories."
He nodded.
"Guess what everyone! The Denali's are coming over tomorrow to see us! We have decided we will play a big game of baseball in the woods, the weather forecast says there will be a storm of lightening and thunder! How exciting." Esme came into the room cheering.
"I am cool with that just keep Irina away from me." Edward said getting up from his piano.
"Wait what's up with you Irina?" I asked Edward.
"She has such a crush on him! She can't ever keep her hands off of him!" Alice laughed.
"Hay! It's not a crush! She just likes my personality that's all! Anyway Emmett and Kate have something going on as well." Edward explained angrily.
"What? There's nothing going on with me and Kate!" Emmett argued.
"You didn't say that the night you slept with her!" Alice stated.
I looked at Emmett and he smiled a guilty smile.
"Hay not forgetting jasper and Tanya!" Emmett said changing the subject of him having sex with Kate.
"Tanya isn't touching jasper! Not while I am here anyway." Alice claimed.
"Hay Rosalie will you help me pick out a new outfit for tomorrow?" Alice asked.
"Sure, I'd love to help" I got off on Emmett's lap and followed Alice up the stairs and into her and jaspers room.
"So, are there any particular colours you're interested in wearing? Baseball is a very dark coloured sport..."
"What's going on with you and Emmett then! Spill!" Alice completely interrupted me.
I had a funny feeling she didn't want help with her outfit.
"Come, come, sit down." she patted the bed. I sighed and walked over sitting on her bed.
"I don't know."
"What? That's it. I don't know! There's got to be more to it than that!"
"Emmett's really sweet to me. He's funny, kind, caring. I won't lie, I really like him. It's just I don't know. We kissed, and it was magical but I had to pull back. My head was just telling me it was wrong. Would it work out between us?"
"Are you kidding? You both were like made for each other. The way he looks at you rose. He's never been like that with a woman before. Can you not see how protective he is of you? He wouldn't let anyone else in the family take you hunting- only he could. He loves you rose, I have seen a vision. And I might have talked to him this morning when you and Esme were out but that's not the point. Just give him a chance Rosalie. He's not like Royce."
"Thanks Alice, you have given me some stuff to think about." I hugged her.
"Sure thing hun, but seriously I need an outfit for the baseball match. I want to make Tanya feel ashamed."
I helped pick her out a final outfit to wear.
"Oh Alice I have to ask you, with the denali's coming over, should I be worried about making an impression on them. You know, my hair, make up, clothes, behaviour?"
"Truthfully, yes. Especially on Kate. You need to show her all the reasons why Emmett loves you not her. But also you don't want them to think your like a bratty bitch or something. No one likes a family bitch you know. But they will love you!" Alice reassured me.
"Okay, thanks, I think." I left the room and went back to mine.
Walking into the room, Emmett was laying on my sofa watching TV.
"Hay stranger." I said
"Did I mention that your room is bigger than mine."
"You might have mentioned it before." I replied walking into the wardrobe to put my shoes away.
"So was she good?" I called to him.
"Was who good?"
"Oh come on. I may be blonde but I am not stupid! You and Kate! You and Kate had sex, was she good?"
"We don't seriously need to talk about that, it was ages ago!"
"It still happened Emmett! I want to know."
"Fine. I was desperate. Okay. I was desperate and she was available. There was nothing in it. No love, no passion no nothing! Just two people having sex. It wasn't even worth it. She was crap. And I regret so much, I really do Rosalie."
